“Honest” Hanlon Idovu was originally arrested for smuggling, and the subsequent investigations into them added several counts of possession of stolen goods, consorting with enemies of the Empire, and possession of restricted items to their list of charges. The prosecution attempted to add several counts of incitement to violence, but in the end there was insufficient evidence to convict them on those charges. Still, the charges that stuck were more than enough to give Honest Hanlon a nice long prison term.

While at the prison, Honest Hanlon has been subject to disciplinary measures on a number of occasions - relating to possession and supply of contraband, and encouraging poor behaviour in others. However, their punishments always seem to end up less severe than would be expected for their actions.
